Ramgarh Impact Crater is a circular shape structure with ~ 3.4 km diameter. It is home of many flora and fauna. Bryophytes, including mosses, liverworts, and hornworts, are non-vascular cryptogamic plants known for their ecological importance in moisture retention, soil formation, and as pioneer species. Field observations and microscopic analyses were conducted to identify morphological and anatomical characteristics and determine their ecological significance. Bryophytes like Riccia cavernosa Mitt. (Liverwort)), Cyathodium sp. (Liverwort), Notothylas orbicularis (Schwein.) Sull. (Hornwort), Fissidens flaccidus Mitt. (Moss) are found. Pteridophytes -Actiniopteris radiata (Sw.) Link, also present with Cyathodium sp. Fissidens flaccidus Mitt. Adiantum caudatum L. (Pteridophytes) also observed on the Bhand-devra temple (Mini Khajuraho) in Ramgarh Impact Crater wall.
